Thanks, Clayton Thanks for your advice. What really helped was your reference to an "error log". I found it and it stated there was an error in the inititialisation. I un-installed and re-installed AWC and all the problems vanished. For your information, Avira is a German anti-virus tool. Because I live in Australia, I tend to look to Asia and Europe, as well as locally and USA, for technology. I often find European technology superior to that from USA. Regards, howardh

Problems with version 2.4.1.787 I have just updated to version 2.4.1.787. I seem to heve two problems: 1. The update facility does not seem to work - I get a message "No updates available". 2. the "Security Defence Scan" seems to start and then freeze. I see no disk activity after afew seconds and there is no activity in the progress bar, although the magnifying glass is still moving. I have disabled my Zone Alarm firewall, but Avira anti-virus is still active. Do you have suggestions? howardh
